This skill does not depend on those tools.** > - **All paths are relative to the skill directory, which is the directory where this SKILL.md is located.** ## Overview This skill runs controlled workload pressure tests on Huawei Cloud CCE. It builds a complete traffic path from a k6 client through ELB to nginx-ingress to workload pods, supports short-connection, keepalive, and ramp traffic models, collects ELB metrics and AOM observability data, evaluates elasticity phases, and generates bilingual Markdown and HTML reports with performance curves. **Architecture**: Python dispatcher (`scripts/huawei-cloud.py`) → Huawei Cloud Python SDK + Kubernetes client → ELB/CCE/AOM/APM APIs → Route preparation → Client generation → Traffic run → Observability collection → Report generation **Key Principle**: Preview-first. Read-only checks may run immediately, but Service/Ingress changes, traffic generation, and workload scaling require explicit user approval with `confirm=true` before execution. **Related Skills**: | Skill | Purpose | |-------|---------| | `huawei-cloud-cce-autoscaling-diagnoser` | Diagnose autoscaling failures when HPA or CA does not respond during pressure tests | | `huawei-cloud-cce-observability-context-builder` | Build observability context when AOM/APM evidence is needed | | `huawei-cloud-cce-pod-failure-diagnoser` | Diagnose Pod runtime failures during traffic runs | | `huawei-cloud-cce-node-failure-diagnoser` | Diagnose node-level failures under load | | `huawei-cloud-cce-workload-failure-diagnoser` | Diagnose workload rollout failures after scaling | | `huawei-cloud-cce-auto-remediation-runner` | Execute remediation actions when issues are found during tests | | `huawei-cloud-cce-cluster-management` | Cluster lifecycle, nodepool management, kubeconfig retrieval | **Capabilities**: 1.

Retry the failed action ## Core Commands All actions are invoked via the dispatcher script: ```bash python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py region= cluster_id= [key=value ...] ``` ### 1. Deploy Java Sample (Optional) ```bash # Preview (no mutation) python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_deploy_cce_pressure_test_java_sample \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= # Apply after user approval python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_deploy_cce_pressure_test_java_sample \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= confirm=true ``` Creates an isolated Namespace, ConfigMap (small Java HTTP server), and Deployment with readiness/liveness probes. Exposes `/healthz`, `/api/hello`, and `/api/work` on port `8080`. ### 2. Create ELB (When No Reusable ELB Exists) ```bash # Preview (no mutation) python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_create_elb \ region=cn-north-4 name= vip_subnet_cidr_id= # Apply after user approval python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_create_elb \ region=cn-north-4 name= vip_subnet_cidr_id= confirm=true ``` Creates a chargeable ELB. Review billable fields before applying. Does not silently create an EIP. ### 3. Prepare Route ```bash # Preview (no mutation) python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_prepare_cce_pressure_test_route \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= namespace= workload_name= target_port=8080 # Apply after user approval python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_prepare_cce_pressure_test_route \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= namespace= workload_name= target_port=8080 confirm=true ``` Creates or patches a ClusterIP Service and Ingress pointing to the workload. Discover an existing nginx ingress controller LoadBalancer address. Does not silently create a chargeable ELB. ### 4. Inject APM Java Agent (Optional) ```bash python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_inject_cce_apm_javaagent \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= namespace= \ workload_name= app_name= \ business= env_name= ``` Injects the Huawei Cloud APM Java agent into the workload Deployment for distributed tracing during the pressure test. ### 5. Generate k6 Client ```bash python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_generate_cce_pressure_test_client \ target_url=http:/// namespace=pressure-test \ model=keepalive vus=10 duration_seconds=60 ``` Generates the k6 ConfigMap and Job manifest. Use a regional SWR mirror for the k6 image when public image pulls are unavailable. **Supported Traffic Models**: | Model | Purpose | |-------|---------| | `short` | Disable connection reuse; observe new-connection pressure | | `keepalive` | Reuse connections for a steady HTTP baseline | | `ramp` | Increase traffic in stages then scale down | ### 6. Run Pressure Test ```bash # Preview (no mutation) python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_run_cce_pressure_test \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= target_url=http:/// # Apply after user approval python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_run_cce_pressure_test \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= target_url=http:/// confirm=true ``` Ensures the client namespace, creates the ConfigMap and Job, waits for completion by default, records replica/Pod count samples, and extracts the k6 summary from logs. ### 7. Collect Observability ```bash python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_collect_cce_pressure_test_observability \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= namespace= \ workload_name= elb_id= ``` Collects ELB QPS, active connections, layer-7 response time, 2xx ratio, Pod CPU/memory metrics, and AOM evidence. Pass `label_selector` to scope Pod metrics to the workload. Pod CPU and memory are collected from node metrics when `aom_instance_id` is not provided. ### 8. Generate Report ```bash python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_generate_cce_pressure_test_report \ result_path= ``` Generates Markdown, HTML, and SVG curve artifacts from the run JSON and optional observability JSON. ### 9. Scale Workload (Elasticity Evaluation) ```bash # Preview (no mutation) python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_scale_cce_workload \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= workload_type=Deployment \ name= namespace= replicas=5 # Apply after user approval python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_scale_cce_workload \ region=cn-north-4 cluster_id= workload_type=Deployment \ name= namespace= replicas=5 confirm=true ``` For elasticity evaluation: run a baseline phase, preview scaling, apply only after approval with `confirm=true`, then run a second phase and compare reports. ### 10.

Verify AK/SK credentials are configured via environment variables 2. Inspect existing Services, Ingresses, HPA, ingress controller, and ELB context 3. Confirm cluster, workload, namespace, target port, test window, traffic model, VUs, and output directory 4. Deploy Java sample (preview → confirm) if needed for an isolated lab 5. Create ELB (preview → confirm) if no reusable ingress-controller ELB exists 6. Prepare route (preview → confirm) — Service and Ingress 7. Inject APM Java agent (optional) for distributed tracing 8. Generate k6 client manifest — review ConfigMap and Job 9. Run pressure test (preview → confirm) 10. Collect observability with `elb_id` for full evidence 11. Generate report and review Markdown/HTML/SVG artifacts 12. For elasticity evaluation: run baseline → scale workload → run second phase → compare reports ## Best Practices 1. **Start with low traffic**: Always begin with low VUs and short duration to validate the traffic path before ramping up 2. **Preview before apply**: Always run mutation actions without `confirm=true` first, review the plan, then re-run with `confirm=true` after explicit user approval 3. **Use regional SWR images for k6**: Docker Hub images may timeout; mirror k6 to a regional SWR namespace 4. **Pass `elb_id` for observability**: ELB metrics (QPS, connections, latency, success rate) are critical evidence; always pass `elb_id` when collecting observability 5. **Run at least two phases for elasticity**: Baseline + scaled phase comparison is the standard methodology for evaluating autoscaling behavior 6. **Confirm test target before traffic**: Never send traffic to production paths without an approved test window 7. **Stop raising traffic when indicators degrade**: Halt when success rate drops, latency rises sharply, or resource waterlines exceed agreed limits 8. **Do not delete resources automatically**: Never auto-delete ELBs, namespaces, workloads, Jobs, or ConfigMaps ## Reference Documents | Document | Description | |----------|-------------| | [Workflow](references/workflow.md) | Staged execution, action parameters, and command examples | | [Risk Rules](references/risk-rules.md) | Preview-first constraints, mutation boundaries, and operational limits | | [Output Schema](references/output-schema.md) | JSON response schema and report artifact structure | ## Notes - **Preview-first by design** — Service/Ingress changes, traffic generation, and workload scaling return a preview without `confirm=true`; apply only after explicit user approval - **Standard traffic path** — `Pod → Service → nginx-ingress → ELB`; the route preparation action discovers existing ingress controllers and does not silently create chargeable resources - **ELB is chargeable** — creating a new ELB incurs hourly billing; always preview and confirm before creation - **No credential persistence** — AK/SK exists only during API calls; never written to disk, logs, or reports - **Cross-skill escalation** — If autoscaling does not respond during tests, hand off to `huawei-cloud-cce-autoscaling-diagnoser`; if Pods fail, hand off to `huawei-cloud-cce-pod-failure-diagnoser` ## Common Pitfalls | Pitfall | Symptom | Quick Fix | |---------|---------|-----------| | Public Docker Hub k6 image | Image pull timeout in CCE | Mirror k6 image to regional SWR namespace | | Missing ELB in traffic path | k6 client cannot reach workload | Create ELB or verify ingress-controller LoadBalancer IP | | Ingress host mismatch | k6 requests rejected with 404 | Pass `host` during route prep and `host_header` to client | | No observability without `elb_id` | Missing traffic/latency curves in report | Always pass `elb_id` to observability collection | | Skipping baseline phase | Cannot evaluate elasticity improvement | Run baseline phase before scaling | | Wrong `vip_subnet_cidr_id` | ELB creation fails | Use network ID from `huawei_list_vpc_subnets`, not subnet UUID | | Production traffic without approval | Unintended load on production | Confirm test target and namespace before traffic generation |
